Frozen Chicken Blueberry Pup Pops Recipe
Introduction
Frozen Chicken Blueberry Pup Pops are a refreshing and nutritious treat your dog will love. Combining real chicken, antioxidants from blueberries, and a touch of honey for sweetness, these pops are perfect for warm days or as a special snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 jar (2.5 oz) baby food chicken OR pure chicken broth for dogs
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness and energy boost)
Instructions
- Step 1: Add the blueberries, water, baby food chicken (or chicken broth), and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth. For added texture, pulse less to leave small chunks of chicken.
- Step 2: Place silicone molds or ice cube trays on a baking sheet for stability. Pour the blended mixture evenly into each mold, wiping any spills afterwards.
- Step 3: Freeze the molds for at least 3 hours, until completely solid.
- Step 4: Remove the frozen pops from the molds and store them in a sealed container in the freezer until ready to serve.
- Step 5: Offer a pup pop to your dog as a cool and tasty treat whenever they need a refreshment.
Tips & Variations
- Use pure chicken broth instead of baby food chicken for a smoother flavor and easier blending.
- Try adding a small amount of plain yogurt to make the treat creamier and add probiotics.
- If your dog is sensitive to honey, omit it or substitute with a bit of mashed banana for sweetness.
Storage
Store the frozen pup pops in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag for up to 2 weeks. To serve, simply remove a pop from the freezer and let your dog enjoy immediately. Do not refreeze once thawed.
